[@gtrrohit5078]

While this is true I believe the reason he may have gotten this injury was not only due to fatigue but due to overuse possibly of a single type of of bench press method. If you always use different variations you are less likely to face an injury. The key to having muscle growth is overcoming the biological law of accommodation. If you continously use a single sort of training stimulus. You will get fatigued. You will get weaker. So the key to musclebgrowth is also getting the science behind weight lifting :)

[@primetate303]

Nah more reps is better for muscle growth and aesthetics Go strong for strength

[@gtrrohit5078]

@@primetate303 That is black and white thinking. you should be doing all rep ranges, from a 1 rep max to above 10 reps to maybe even above 20. Do you think that if you progress to bench a heavier weight your chest would not get bigger? the ability to lift a heavy weight for even one rep means you are guaranteed to have put on size.

[@hellobez]

If you want to use a proper weight for lifting, make sure the exercise is challenging, but not hard enough that you’re compromising your form

[@aidey8mph605]

I ran into trouble with that before. When I didn’t consistently workout I would sometimes get inspired to do some push-ups. I would hurt my shoulder pretty much every time. When I started working out consistently I started off with “kneeling push-ups” just to strengthen my shoulders because my arm muscles were fine but my joints weren’t ready yet. This can cause frustration with a lot of gym beginners with not being able to do certain exercises.

[@spacesax1]

Bro, don't neglect on the mobility work. You'll feel much better with time

[@UmeshBx]

Man timing of this video is scary. I literally injured my lower back during my warm up sets of RDLs, causing me to have to skip half my workout as my lower back was in sharp pain. The following day I could barely walk, even wiping my ass was incredibly difficult (lol). It wasn't due to poor form or anything, but similar to yourself the warning signs were there for weeks as my lower back was feeling tight. Had to take the remainder of the week off which sucked as I love working out and feel like bum when I don't!

[@JoshWarren1873]

Deload every 8-12 weeks really helps, currently I'm doing 8 week heavy training then 1 week deload and every time I start a new 8 week block I feel much stronger and ready to go again. People should know as well, deload week doesn't mean staying home and not lifting. Go to the gym but cut back your days, 3 days with a push pull leg split is ideal and when at the gym you should only do 2 sets with 3 reps each at your current weight for each exercise. Your progress won't be slowed by anything noticeable but you might just prevent an injury that could set you back months.

[@JoshWarren1873]

@Andrei Georgescu Great book, it's what helped me understand how to work out and diet properly

[@JoshWarren1873]

@Andrei Georgescu Yeah I'm following his 3rd edition routine, it's soon to be 1 year of training for me while following his book and the 8 weeks then deload is working well, but definitely in the future the extra deload week is something for me to keep on mind

This is something i started to feel these past 2/3 days. I play football and I'm not far from going pro. I have started going to the gym which isn't the a problem for me in the sense of discipline. I have been going consistantly to football training 3x every week for i think 9 years now, but i started hitting the gym in february (seriously im talking about almost no days off with football training and test matches). So we are now in april i have made some decent gains, but I'm starting to feel like hamza is mentioning. I feel tired (no joint pain) I'm also considering just maybe 2-3 days off.

[@miniweeddeerz1820]

Look at Renaissance Periodization for deload guide.

[@camscoggs]

You just definitely take a Deload week on either both football and weightlifting or just lifting if you can. Overtraining is a real thing, and it will be much more beneficial long term to stop for a week than to keep playing through

[@oneblitzyboi770]

Maybe miss a few days and focus on form rather than weight for a bit, don’t hurt yourself bro

[@camscoggs]

Wish I heard this 6 months ago. Pulled a muscle in my quad connected to my hip and just kept playing football through it. Played on it for 2 months, the seasons ended, and I took a week break to "recover". After a week, nothing had changed but I decided to try out for my school's track team. Immediately, things didn't feel right and I could barely lift uo my knee. Another injury took me out for a month but I decided to keep resting to heal my hip. I had gotten an extreme overuse injury, and still recovering. After finally dropping my ego and going to a physical therapist, things have been looking better. Just taking it day by day and have made some progress. Now, I've learned many, many things about longevity and not overtraining to prevent something like this ever again and hopefully help other people in the future

[@gabrielnelson]

I had something similar happen to me a few years ago when I was doing 5x5. I loved seeing the weight go up every week, but eventually got to a point where I had to be honest with myself that my form was suffering and that if I continued I'd start to hurt myself. My recoveries were already suffering, and so it was my cue to change things up. Since then I've changed workout routines a few times, but that lesson has stuck with me. Yes, looking good is nice, but it should be aligned with actual health.

[@desengineers]

It's been almost 1 month of dopamine detox, and I can already say that you changed my life. My view of the world and people has completely chanced.

Yep. Got left back in my progress. Such a idiot but I learned and now I am grateful for my mistakes, so I take my time and think straight in working out and I’ve never been as thankful as I am now. Wasn’t really showing off to anyone, just way too much excitement Just remember to calm down and THINK about your form before. We are only flesh and bones. But yeah, never giving up working out.

Everyone says they shouldn't ego lift, but you can't help sometimes want to lift more infront of others. It's actually good sometimes bc it pushes you harder, but its not sustainable 🏋🏋🏋

when ur strength goes down, you MUST deload for a week or so. you should also peak for 1 rep maxes and get used to heavy weight, even if you can theoretically lift that weight.

You need to mentally prepare and prepare your central nervous system.

Felt so shut and unconfident in my self.

Same happened to me. But what happened was I always kept increasing the weight by a tiny little bit with only 1-2 rest days a week and eventually I got really sick (was overtraining, I had that multiple times) , and now after more than a month I'm only back to my old weights. Threw me off a lot. Now I'm only ever going 2 day in a row with a rest day with a rest day after that and I fucking feel better than ever and I progress way better. More is not always better guys, 4-5 times a week is really all you need. Of course also depends on the split. Doing PPL and even decided to take out 1 Exercise from each day because I was feeling very tired after each workout. Feel like now I've optimized my plan. You still learn so much I realized recently even though I've been on the fitness journey since I was 15 (23 now) Take your time to recover Hamza and don't let your ego convince you that you NEED to go train of you've felt fatigued the last days.
